<sigh> how do you take a worthy cause and a serious issue for all women and turn it into (what promises to be) a vulgar display? :(

Faye -

I am a breast cancer survivor (7 years!). I will not be offended by the photos that are shown here. It's all part of the "breast-obsessed" society we live in, which intertwines with all the ideas that went through my head when I got the diagnosis. After I got through treatment, I never saw things that way again. It was just an appendage that had to go. I kept my sense of humor, as most of us do, and I am interested to see what others may post. I don't speak for anyone else but myself.

This photo is not a great one, and I wasn't the photographer, but it shows me sans eyebrows and sporting a turban. It's not Thursday, but I hope you will let me go early just this once.

Janet

janet...you are definately allowed to be first this week!! congratulations on beating the disease!!
my mum is also a breast cancer survivor and i too have had a scare...but i'm ok!! :D

and i really don't think anyone would treat this issue with any vulgarity...a little humour maybe with a lot of awareness i hope!! its not just a womans problem, men get it too...although its not publicised as much!! :shock:

In no way does this challenge trivialise something extremely serious to all of us. I hope everyone thinks carefully about the image that they post, and that those images you all see allow you to understand, just a bit more.

make donations to research cures...when you see pink, buy it.
Good topic, Bev & Lee. Though I didn't have breast cancer I am 15 years free of another type of cancer, thanks to the wonders of modern medicines & talented surgeons
& no doubt the money put into finding cures...so give, give, give !!

You have lived and survived the terror... that is the only way I can imagine or describe such a diagnosis .

Thank you again.

I hate to post early. Sorry this week. I could hardly wait until late tomorrow when I'll be back at my computer to post for this most important topic.
